Miss Sweat introduces probability as the likelihood of events occurring, using everyday examples like choosing socks and writing utensils to explain concepts. She discusses probability on a number line, covering terms like impossible, unlikely, likely, and certain. The video concludes with encouragement to apply these concepts in daily life.
